MISSION STATEMENT

COFFEE TABLE

This book, is non-fictional. However, it should be considered as an emerging 1 Coffee Table Book. A coffee table book, also known as a cocktail table book, is an oversized, commonly hard-covered book whose function is for display on a table. It is deployed in an area in which one entertains guests, and from which it can suffice to inspire spoken communication or pass the time frivolously.

This book probably won’t help you understand anything. It will often sound credible, but it rarely has valid validity or consummate constructs. Despite this, a valiant effort was made. The author focused on the idea of putting words on the screen instead of being frivolous with his words.

What this book tends to impart:

  1. The intention of talking about how your Westernized lifestyle and mindset are in a state of debauchery.
  2. Together with all the other problems with stress and the desire to get your hands on useless items that are advertised repeatedly, you are properly mind-clamped.
  3. The book uses the written-language method of communication to discourage you from some of the postulates you have.

This causes cognitive dissonance. It will not genuinely feel pleasant. There are non-resonant ideas that exist between the ideas in your mind and the ideas within the real world. This book attempts to lessen the impact here, by taking it one step at a time. Of course, this will not work at all, but it could be worse!

Personal dedication

Categories: Dr. Strangelove: Film trailer videos: Film trailers in the public domain: 1964 black comedy film

This book authored by Geoffrey David Cowne MØOOZ is dedicated to DAVE without whom I would not have understood anything about microdosing these truffles.

However, this is my subjective interpretation of the subject, which may actually be fundamentally wrong!

Foreword

May I be so forward…

I have known Mr. Cowne in and out of his various personalities and fortitude for several years now… or is it that I have always known him… Anyway, the point is that I’ve known him, but not bionically. It was my honour to be asked to forward this mammoth tome of significant interest to those whom have some understanding of the universe and would like to know more. I can’t say that this book will offer you that knowledge in a way that you expect. Simply, I can say that it will offer you something you won’t expect, and it will do so with massive gusto and in a way that you will remember for a long time afterwards.

Consider this book like a very, and I do mean extremely, hot vindaloo curry. It goes in, it kills everything that is irrelevant, and it passes through you like wild horses, leaving you feeling fully cleansed and ready to take on the world. I would recommend the book to anyone (except those undergoing bowel surgery) and everyone (except those who believe in conspiracy theories beyond the absolute conspiracy of “self”). The verbiage is punctual, enticing, and full of flavour and the mushroom element is the piece-of-resistance, offering a psychotropic re-evaluation of the state of humanity which, let’s face it folks… has come to simply be wavering on a knifes edge.

Geoff’s imaginative take on the human experience comes from deep dives into the subconscious, some of his doing, some that occurred without prompting and some devolved from sheer stupidity… Only their culmination is a fireworks’ displacement of talent beyond the normal, some may call it abnormal… I just sit in awe, as if watching the northern lights. Trump, et al., eat your hearts out.

I wish this book and Geoff as much success in the world and as his appetite can handle. In addition, I hope more people can get to read and become accustomed to the revelations of a genuine comic talent that has been hidden for decades behind the curtain of Romance Obstinate Bureaucracy. Long live the revolution!

Preface

The Universe is more or less 14 Billion years old. Humans, in their present form may have been here for 300,000 years. The Universe had to wait for us. Therefore, my motivation is, as ever, to provoke the reader, albeit briefly, into a reality where waiting is not wrong! 1

It is a fact that scarcely anyone in reality, reads the preface of a book. This is particularly true for this small book. For, the book aims itself at providing spectacularly sensible and reassuring explanations of the theory and practice of the esoteric Psilocybin ostrich.

This itself, proportions stunningly advanced uncertainty of full apprehension by ‘normal’ individuals. Indeed, regarding specific anthropoids, there is an additional vastly incremented uncertainty factor that must be added to account for those with a PhD.

If you have come this far, then just read the well crafted textual content jointly with the accompanying marvellous pictures.

Friendly advice

Living in the NOW is all-important. While you are waiting for that interview, examination or other nerve-racking-experience to begin, living in the NOW may feel like the most detestable thing to be doing. In reality of course, this is far from the truth. Living in the now does indeed help, as the closer to mentally being in the now that you can be, the less your mind will focus on the total fiction of the future: which is the nerve-racking-experience itself.

Introduction

This book not only offers essential insights but also delights with its beautiful photography.

Introduction to Magic Mushrooms: This book offers a fresh look at the place of humanity in the world. It delves into the fundamental principles and applications of psilocybin, a chemical that might have influenced the evolution of neural communication. Whether or not that’s the case, one cannot help but notice the striking resemblance between neuronal dendrites and fungal mycelia.

Paul Stamets: An acclaimed mycologist, Stamets describes mushrooms and the mycelial network as both the Internet and the immune system of our planet. This interconnectedness is evident as mycorrhizal fungi collaborate with plant roots, extending their hyphae like a web across the forest ground.

The Wonder of the Human Brain: Imagine uniting 100 billion neurons with 100 trillion connections — you’d get a human brain. Surprisingly, while the actual speed of data transfer within the brain equates to a walking pace, the brain functions at a speed that seems beyond the constraints of light. This intriguing phenomenon, which is achieved through a kind of anticipatory communication, remains a mystery.

Psilocybin mushroom

What are Psilocybin Mushrooms?

On this page, you will encounter Latin words. This approach is used to be more like a medical doctor, rather than using crystal clear English.

You go to your Doctor, and he says, “It seems that the subarachnoid1 atrophy is nominal for your age.”

WTF does this mean? Why is he talking about a spider in your brain? You are now quite stressed, as, although you aren’t medically trained, you do understand some Latin and a little of the Greek that the Latin world borrowed. Especially in this case, ‘Arachnid,’ which is near Greek for spider.

You ask him “How did this spider get inside there?” with a tone of some concern while attempting not to appear completely shocked.

How are we feeling today; are the pills helping with your anxiety issues?” he asks.

This has escalated the current situation to a whole new level. You are not taking any anxiety medication.

You shout “Don’t talk to me with your body posturing in that tone, when you have obviously not read the right notes, and you don’t even know which patient of yours I am?”

Unbeknown to you, a secret button has been pressed, located just under his desk. Two men appear in white suits and place a straight jacket to restrain you. You are denied any phone calls and taken from that place to a mental institution for an indefinite period while Chlorpromazine is injected on an IV drip.

Anyway, back to the question

They are Mushrooms containing psychotropica essentiae; these are A polyphyle. A polyphyle is a group or assemblage of organisms, vel aliis elementis, that possess a mix-up in evolutionary origin. In simple terms, they may share more than one common ancestor.

It is even probabilis that different Psilocybin Mushrooms have no common ancestors whatsoever. This phaenomenon is not restricted to fungos and is found within, quadraphonic sound system experts. Examples include: V8 internal combustion engines, and roadies with bunches of keys.

Distribution

Global distribution of psychoactive species of all Psilocybin genus Mushrooms

Note that the above map doesn’t include Russia or vast portions of the African continent at all. The survey was biased because it only had a few Oxbridge idiots with no experience with the world and who’s daddies were driving battleships.

Effects of taking a full dose

The effects of Mushrooms are subjective, and can vary greatly among different people. The psychotropic effects of mushrooms can last from three to eight hours depending on the method of preparation, and individual metabolism. The first 3–4 hours after taking the Shrooms are usually called the ‘peak,’ during which the user sees many a vivid image, and things seem unusual or even more unusual. Because psilocybin can alter how the user perceives time, it may appear like the effects last longer.

However, remember that we are not really aroused by taking the complete psychedelic dose at all here.

Risks

As you can see above, Mushrooms are low risk. Despite this, governmentalist entities 2 are deeply divided over these natural earthly products. The benefits of the Shroom are not comprehended by them. This has more to do with inexperience and square-headedness than anything else we could think of.

Introduction to microdosing

The theory

Microdosing, in the context of this book, is the theory of using sub-threshold doses (microdoses) of serotonergic psychedelic drugs to:

  1. improve creativity
  2. boost physical energy level
  3. promote emotional balance
  4. increase performance on problem-solving tasks
  5. treat anxiety, depression, and addiction

The evidence

Alternative medicines produced and used in Africa

The practice of microdosing has become more widespread in the 21st century, with more people claiming long-term benefits from the practice.

Psilocybin microdosers report that the Mushrooms:

  1. increase creativity
  2. calm anxiety
  3. decrease the need for caffeine
  4. reduce depression
  5. give you more energy to deal with the madness 3

Mechanism

The chief mechanism of microdosing is a boost to the neurotransmitter chemicals, which are normally required for brain function to occur.

The subarachnoid space is the space that normally exists between the arachnoid and the pia mater. It is filled with cerebrospinal fluid and continues down the spinal cord. Spaces are formed from openings at different points along the subarachnoid space; these are the subarachnoid cisterns, which are filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Literally, it means ‘ under the spider’.

M.D., which can be used with or without the dots (M.D. or MD) is the designation for a medical doctor. This designation is attained by attending medical school (typically a four-year program after finishing at least one college boy degree, plus a residency program), and learning to diagnose patients’ symptoms and offer treatment.

Is drug use an instinctual behaviour?

Humans aren’t the only mammals that seek and consume psychoactive substances. For example, mandrills have been observed ingesting ibogaine, and deer have been seen eating red and white-spotted Mushrooms.

Caribou

Many types of deer, including reindeer, moose, and caribou, eat psychedelic Mushrooms.

While foraging, the deer will look for fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) Mushrooms, even beneath the winter snow. These red and white Shrooms are related to deadly types like the aptly named destroying angel and death cap. They have a collection of toxins, but they are not harmful like their other agaric counterparts.

They contain a compound that causes a sedative and hallucinogenic effect in mammals. Humans, such as the Siberian tribal societies who drink the psychoactive urine of agaric-eating reindeer, report a dream-like state.

It is said that after consuming the fungi, the deer will often behave as if they were drunk, or jumping around and generally having fun, while making noises.

These Mushrooms contain psychoactive agents, which are contained within the caribou urine. The urine can then be consumed. To get access to the urine of a herd mate that has fly agaric, there will be battles between the Caribou. When Siberian tribes noticed this, they realized that they could benefit from drinking the caribou urine.

The fly agaric is even stronger after passing through the reindeer system, with the added benefit of the chemicals that cause undesirable side effects being eliminated. Any species of animal, whether it be deer or human, that consumes the urine of the original shroom-muncher will experience a more potent high than the original shroom-muncher.

Jaguars on Yagé

Jaguars are the biggest cats in the Americas and can be found in places like Southern Arizona and warmer parts of South America. While they usually act like apex predators and walk around confidently as a cunning mass of muscles, teeth, and claws, they also like to party.

Jaguars will sometimes eat the leaves of the yagé vine (Banisteriopsis carpi)

The vine grows abundantly in the Amazon Rain-forest and affects jaguars interestingly. Perhaps you’ve seen this clip of a jaguar acting like a big, tipsy, goofy kitten from BBC’s Weird Nature.

Humans also like to drink a Banisteriopsis carpi cocktail now and then. This vine is the main ingredient in ayahuasca, a psychedelic spiritual aid that is used by both indigenous Amazon people, celebrities, middle-class business-persons, weekly-vasting-session types and other yogurt-weavers.

Contrary to popular belief, ayahuasca does not contain DMT. In fact, DMT is found in yagé, which is not the primary ingredient in ayahuasca. Instead, the harmala alkaloid compounds from the vine make it active. Because of this, jaguars are more likely to trip on harmala alkaloids. These alkaloids are strong, but they are probably not as strong as a full ayahuasca cocktail.

Scientists do not have a solid hypothesis as to why jaguars drug themselves like this. However, some South American tribes believe that the effects of the vine improve hunting skills in animals. Even though experts don’t know the exact effects on the big cat’s brain, any observer can conclude that it must be pretty powerful to make a jaguar wriggle on its back and stare at trees with intense fascination.

Iboga

Iboga (Tabernanthe iboga) is a shrub native to the tropical rainforests of Central Africa. It also has ibogaine, a psychedelic compound that is often forgotten about. Ibogaine is most concentrated in the roots and bark of the iboga, and many types of wildlife are known to indulge in its effects. But of these many species, one, in particular, appears to use it for premeditated purposes.

Mandrills, a more colourful cousin of baboons, are believed to use Iboga roots as a performance enhancer in dominance conflicts.

In his book Animals and Psychedelics, Italian ethnobotanist Giorgio Samorini narrates a conversation with a Mitsogho shaman in Gabon. The shaman says that male mandrills use iboga root to get themselves ready for competition.

The shaman said “the primates seek iboga, plucked from the ground, eat the roots, wait for their high to settle in, then prepare for battle.” It is unclear what performance-enhancing benefits they are experiencing, but it is possible that the psychedelic could induce a pain-killing effect and improve reaction time.

Humans are not as unique as we think

The above is only a small sample of the animals that consume psychedelics. It is often said that bighorn sheep pursue impossible-to-reach psychedelic lichen off the Canadian Rockies to get a “Rocky Mountain high.”

In the UK, the Author has observed deer eating small psilocybin Mushrooms in Richmond Park, Surrey. The effect lasts until midday, when they do this early in the morning.

Lemurs and other types of monkeys apply a mosquito-killing pesticide to their bodies by rubbing toxic millipedes onto their skin. They also eat the millipede, which gives them a high. It’s not clear whether that high is hallucinogenic or not.

The animal kingdom has its fair share of fascination with altered states, and it proves once again that humans are not as unique as we think.

Your Mushrooms

Above, we see a photograph of a variety of Magic Mushrooms, all of which contain psilocybin in different quantities and slightly differing chemical constructs.

  1. There are many benefits to taking Magic Mushrooms and Psilocybin funguses in a microdosing format.
  2. Groupings from the Kingdom of The Netherlands and around the world use them to boost creativeness, focus, and productiveness to become even better consumer based wage slaves.
  3. Since Magic Mushrooms and Psilocybin truffles are earthy products, they will expire if left unused.
  4. When you know how to preserve your acquisition or yield, you can increase the lifetime of these items significantly.
  5. Mushrooms are often over 98% water.
  6. When the moisture content of the Psilocybin truffles is measured, it is typically between 5% and 15% water.
  7. Your investment may last longer if you undertake a preservation process.
  8. Your investment is important, obviously!1
  9. Getting your truffles from us is much easier than growing truffles.
  10. DON’T THINK TOO MUCH
  11. Always take it to Eleven

Getting Mushrooms

So, you would like to know how to get the Mushrooms?

This is a legitimate and reasonable inquiry. Acquiring things is definitely part of Extant Hominoidea in all our glory. In other words, we have continually sought to acquire things, food, and items of lilliputian usefulness. But the hunter-gatherer’s compulsion with collecting items that are of little function is not as intense.

The hunter-gatherer

The hunter-gatherer, was, and in some parts of the planet still is, fairly economical with collecting items of little use. This, in part, is because of the tremendous proportion of time spent just trying to live and he/ she may be nomadic, making it harder to keep stuff as being on the move all the time is a bummer:

  1. collecting and carrying water
  2. killing fresh animal
  3. collecting various vegetables from the natural environs
  4. making rudimentary tools
  5. watching TV
  6. looking after the younglings
  7. Using the internet (yes they do this even if they are living in non Westernized underwood surroundings)
  8. watching the stars and gazing into the embers of the fire that went out some time back
  9. fighting off predators, which usually means forest clearance companies with huge automated tree killing machinery that runs 24/7
  10. gossiping
  11. sleeping

It doesn’t need to be a rain forest

The author lived in a narrow boat in Oxford while reading, for years.2 This lifestyle is charming. However, much of the activity that belongs to a nomadic lifestyle applies to living on the canal. British Waterways do provide taps with actual water, but this water is not potable. It’s safer to buy water from TESCO and then carry it up the towpath to the boat. Since the author is vegetarian, he didn’t waste time killing fresh animal. Nevertheless, he did occasionally feed from the elderflower bush. Also, being on the move all the time is a bummer.

Where do I look?

If you are looking at this whole world of microdose power for the first time in your life, or you are a procrastinator, then buy pre-packed truffles. There are mammoth online businesses in Amsterdam that will be happy to help out. If you live in the United Kingdom, you should take a trip to Glastonbury, where you will find establishments that sell growing kits and all sorts of paraphernalia that you may or may not need.

Main point

Above you can see a canal in Amsterdam complete with chemtrails above in the sky.

The main point here is that if you are new to the subject or tend to make excuses, you should just buy truffles that are already packed in plastic.

This will at least get you going on the journey. Taking the first step is always the most difficult part of journeying. You may spend days, months or even years planning, discussing and generally waffling on about a journey that you really want to do.

Growing - an introduction

Mushrooms are not plants, and require different conditions for optimal growth. Plants develop through photosynthesis, a process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted into carbohydrates, especially cellulose. While sunlight provides an energy source for plants, Mushrooms obtain all of their energy and growth materials from their growth medium, through biochemical decomposition processes. This doesn’t mean that light is irrelevant, since some fungi use light as a signal to fruit. However, all the necessary materials for growth must already be present in the growth medium. Mushrooms grow well at relative humidity levels of around 95–100%, and substrate moisture levels of 50 to 75%.

This book may eventually contain detailed directions on how to grow Mushrooms. However, this will be a subject for later on.

The author built his boat from upcycled material. This included the hull, which started out as a heating oil tank from a disused factory. Almost everything was upcycled, including a 1936 Ruston & Hornsby diesel engine. Most materials were liberated from canal side locations, where he even found the council workers throwing out perfectly good fire-doors. These were then immediately used for the floor, doors, and material to make a very nice galley.

Steps to Follow When Drying Psilocybin Mushrooms and Psilocybin Truffles

Basic introductory words

Both Psilocybin Mushrooms and Psilocybin truffles lose some of their active components when they are harvested. When the commodities are exposed to heat or light, this expedites the result. Drying Magic agarics and sorcerous truffles is a quest, because the process often creates oxidation.

Psilocybin truffles retain their effectiveness when kept in the refrigerator 1 in their original packaging. A vacuum-sealed bag is an excellent second choice when you don’t have the original-packaging. That option also works well for Magic Mushrooms. Before beginning the drying process, many sorcerous mushroom varieties require “pre-drying”. to preserve the psilocybin content.

The pre-drying process begins by laying each Psilocybin mushroom on a clean tray in front of a fan. After turning on the air, you must keep the environment at 30 °C (86 °F) to have the moisture leave the product within a few hours. In other words, normal room temperature, as stipulated by the EU, is no good for this. It must be hotter than room temperature. Once the Psilocybin Mushrooms take on a rubbery appearance and texture, the pre-drying process is complete. The drying process for Magic truffles and pre-dried sorcerous mushrooms can be completed within a few days.

The steps to follow are listed below.

  1. Take the Magic Mushrooms or sorcerous truffles out of their original packaging.
  2. Lay the product out on a sheet of clean newspaper or absorptive paper, leaving space betwixt each piece so that there isn’t anything touching one another. This step helps the airflow through the Magic Mushrooms and sorcerous truffles.
  3. Bigger Magic truffles need to get broken into smaller pieces to help the drying process.
  4. Try running a fan to prevent stale air from decelerating the process if you don’t have one.
  5. Place silicon dioxide gel packets on the paper to absorb the wetness coming off the Magic Mushrooms and sorcerous truffles.
  6. Allow this process to continue for 48 to 72 hours. If you have larger items to dry, it might take up to seven days to reach the next processing stage.
  7. You’ll know that the Magic truffles are dry because they become hard.
  8. You cannot break them manually because they become like small stones.
  9. When we say stones we don’t mean balls, or some other rudimentary offal, we really do mean stones.
  10. Magic Mushrooms are dry when they lose most of their flexibility and feel slightly brittle to the touch.
  11. Silica gel was not available to early Non-Extant Hominidae, so this is probably way over the top and a bit too modern.

Can I Dry Psilocybin Truffles Out to Grind Them?

One issue with Psilocybin Mushrooms and Psilocybin truffles could be the taste perception. 1

It would be reaching to call it a delicacy, and most people don’t grow accustomed to the fraking experience, due to consumerism.2

Chewing Psilocybin truffles

Above is a picture of Salivary Amylase which is produced in your mouth.

Chewing Psilocybin truffles is a fantastic way to release psilocybin. Indeed, mastication is almost vital for complete release of all that goodness in a Mars. I lost my train of thought here… What I meant to say was, both the physical action of chewing together with the saliva, are needed as the first part of digestion. Indeed, salivary amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch (Latin amylum) into sugars.

If you don’t like how they taste, grinding them into a powder is a possible, yet questionable alternative. You’ll require a high-quality powerful grinder that can process the hard “stones” that Psilocybin truffles become after the drying process.

Some people say that they feel the effects of psilocybin faster when microdosing with gunpowder, but this is just not natural at all.

The grinding process is the same as any other product, such as coffee beans or herbs. However, increasing the surface area to unit volume ratio, which what happens with powdering things, generally makes the substance oxidize or degrade far more rapidly.

However if you insist:

  • Open the lid to the grinder.
  • Place your Psilocybin truffles inside, an be very careful not to switch on the industrial machine until you are 10 meters back from the thing.
  • Turn on the machine using the remote control.
  • Continue processing the Psilocybin truffles until no large chunks remain.
  • Remove the powder from the container.

Some people have reported that utilizing psilocybin in powder form may be assistive because it may cut down nausea. It makes food to move through the stomach faster, and it may make psilocybin easier to take if you want to remain powerless. During the drying process, the fresh Psilocybin truffles lose a lot of weight. The size can be reduced by as much as 70% depending on the moisture level. When you’re figuring out the dose from the dried merchandise, please wait until you’ve transformed it into explosive powders. All of this is highly unobjective and far-flung from technological perfection. The powdering of the nose is not worth the time.

Microdosing

Motivation

There are both physically and psychologically oriented reasons for microdosing. An online questionnaire, looked at the reasons why 1,116 people microdosed with psychedelics. The most common reasons given by respondents were:

  1. Performance enhancement
  2. Mood enhancement
  3. Stress-symptom relief

Almost half of respondents claimed that they microdosed to go to work.

Another study relied on data collected from interviews with thirty people who had previously microdosed. Responses from users emphasized their role as conventional citizens, distancing themselves from traditional drug users.

Prevalence and demographics

Demographics over time—showing the aboriginal percentage at the start of the progression (1981), at a time well after most of them were slain while sleeping.

Be cautious of statistics, and representation of the same, which are often designed to disguise the truth in ways that reflect the state of humanity.

1/20 to 1/10 of a full trip dose is considered Shroom microdosing

The statistical prevalence of microdosing appears to be affected by gender. Of 2,437 people surveyed, 13% admitted to previously trying microdosing and 10% admitted to currently microdosing.

Female individuals were half as likely as male individuals to admit that they had been practising microdosing. Men and women who admitted previous microdosing experience were an average of 33 years of age. No particular type of employment was associated with microdosing.

Another anonymous online survey drew from a sample of microdosers from the Reddit online community. The purpose of the survey was to examine demographic, practice, and mental health states. In this online survey, Microdosers and non-microdosers showed no statistical difference in terms of age, sexual orientation, social class, or highest completed formal education.

Organized religious affliction

There were considerable differences between gender and organized religious affliction, with microdose users more likely to be male and have lower rates of suffering from organized religion (sects such as Opus Dei, the Jehovah’s witnesses or the Holy Roman Catholic Church).

The majority of microdosers reported the use of psilocybin as their substance of choice, and some followed a one-day-on, two-days-off schedule.

Despite having similar psychiatric histories, microdosing was found to be less likely to lead to anxiety or a substance use disorder.

Impact of use

The European Medicines Agency and the Food and Drug Administration have endorsed the use of microdosing in drug development, and 15 of the 20 largest pharmaceutical companies have now muscled-in on the technique.

It was once expected that by 2010, microdosing would have gained a secure foothold within mainstream medicine as controlled by the Pharmaceutical Chemical Corporations (PCC).

This did not happen. Instead, the PCC, are pursuing the creation of correspondent synthetic chemicals from analyzing natural substances, or processing refined variations of natural substances which they can sell at massive profit.

An example of this is Cannabis Oil which is sold by PCC, for many legitimate complaints, at well over inflated prices. This, when in a quarter of the world the Cannabis plant itself grows like a weed.

Research

The Johns Hopkins University psilocybin studies

“The important point here is that we found the sweet spot where we can optimize the positive persistent effects without encountering some of the fear and anxiety that can occur.”

The Griffiths study included 18 healthy adults, average age 46, who participated in five eight-hour drug sessions with either psilocybin or a placebo. Over 78% of the volunteers were college graduates; all were also interested in spiritual experience.

Fourteen months after participating in the study, 94% of the participants who received the drug said that they felt the experiment was one of the five most meaningful experiences of their lives; 39% said it was the single most meaningful experience.

The benefits of the insights gained by the participants were reported by their friends, family member and colleagues, as well as the participants themselves.

Griffiths and his colleagues want to see if the same kind of psychedelic experience could help people with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses reduce their anxiety and fear over the long term. Also, researchers are studying whether transcendental experiences could help people recover from addiction and treat other problems like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

For Griffith’s current experiment, participants were placed in a living room-like setting designed to be calm, comfortable and attractive. During the experiment, the participants were high on drugs and listened to classical music on headphones while wearing eyeshades and instructed to ‘direct their attention inward.

Each participant was accompanied by two other research-team members: a monitor and an assistant monitor. Both the monitor and the assistant monitor were experienced with people on psychedelic drugs and were empathetic and supportive. Before the drug sessions, the volunteers became acquainted with their team enough that they felt familiar and safe. Although the experiments took place in the Hopkins hospital complex to ensure prompt medical attention if it was needed, it was never needed.

According to early advocates of the use of psychedelics, such as ancient shamans and Timothy Leary, the psilocybin experience typically involves a sense of oneness with the universe and with others, a feeling of transcending time, space and other limitations, and a sense of holiness and sacredness. The experiences were difficult to put into words, but many of Griffiths participants said they were left with the sense that they understood themselves and others better and therefore had greater compassion and patience.

“I feel that I am better able to relate in my marriage. One participant explained, “There is greater empathy, a greater understanding of people and understanding their difficulties, and less judgment.” “Less judging of myself, too.”

Another person said: I have better interactions with close friends and family, acquaintances, and strangers. … My alcohol consumption has decreased greatly.”

To pinpoint the optimal dose, Griffiths started half the volunteers on a low dose and gradually increased their doses over time (with placebo sessions randomly interspersed); the other half started on a high dose and worked their way down.

Those who began with a low dose found that their experiences tended to improve as the dose increased, probably because they learned what to expect and how to handle it. People who started with high doses were more likely to experience fear and anxiety, though these feelings didn’t last long and sometimes resolved into euphoria.

If we reduce the dose a little, we still get the same positive effects. Griffiths says that the properties of the mystical experience stay the same, but there’s a fivefold drop in anxiety and fearfulness.

Past experiments with psychedelics in the 60s used an initial high dose in an attempt to treat addiction. Griffiths says that the “blast people away with a high dose” model was used. “Some of the early work in addictions was done with the idea of using the dark side of psychedelic compounds to model the bottoming-out crisis. That didn’t work,” Griffiths says.

It may even have backfired: other research on addictions shows that coercion, humiliation and other attempts to produce a sense of “powerlessness,” tend to increase relapse and treatment dropout, not recovery. (And the notorious naked LSD encounter sessions conducted with psychopaths worsened them, too.)

Griffiths is currently seeking patients with terminal cancer to participate in his next set of experiments (for more information on these studies, click here); because psychedelics often produce a feeling of going beyond life and death, they are thought to be especially likely to help those facing the end of life. Griffiths is also studying whether psilocybin can help smokers quit.

Griffiths and other researchers like him want to bring the study of psychedelics into the future. They would like to build on the promise that some of the early research showed, but they don’t want to be connected with the bad reputation and exaggerated claims that came with the drugs when people started using them recreationally in the 1960s. For example, people said that LSD was harmless and could bring about world peace. The resulting negative publicity helped shut down the burgeoning research.

Dr. Jerome Jaffe, America’s first drug czar and who was not involved with the research, said in a statement, “The Hopkins psilocybin studies clearly demonstrate that this route to the mystical is not to be walked alone.”

Pharmaceutical solutions to depression

The received practice on boosting neurotransmitter chemicals

Western medicine, deploys long-term substance abuse and this is often recommended by your MD 1

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs, such as Prozac, increase the serotonin neurotransmitter level by preventing the normal mopping-up of certain types of neurotransmitter. From my experience, this method of treating depression is more effective than bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower, but it has countless issues. However, these chemicals can help when no other knowledge or mechanism for relief of depression is accessible.

Pharmaceutical chemicals

This method of treating your brain, is bad-science; it is cash for the pharmaceutical industry. I ask how likely is it that a drug, which blocks the mopping up of a brain chemical, will not have loads of other effects? What I mean is, this is like some kind of superglue that they shovel into your body in the hope that it will only affect one thing; we are talking about your brain here.

It is highly likely that this would also superglue other important life processes; this, at best, would stop such processes from optimal performance.

Were we living in a flawless world, without tyrannical leaders, insane wars, energy prices going through the roof and all manner of other stuff that we won’t mention, then we would not require any kind of serotonin booster.

Limited use

Having said this, pharmaceutical chemical use is appropriate in numerous instances. It saves lives. It cannot be overlooked as worthless.

However, I consider that pharmaceutical chemicals:

  1. To be limited to short-term treatments, as you will see in a further chapter.
  2. Doubtful for long-term use, as this will almost certainly contribute to further illness.
  3. Although tested, are not really designed to actually cure most disease.

Natural remedies and adjustment of lifestyle may be better than long-term pharmaceutical chemical use.

Health benefits of Mushrooms

Mushrooms are not plants

All Mushrooms are fungi, and they spread or travel by the wind by producing spores, which are similar to pollen or seeds.

There are many different types of Mushrooms, some of which are edible, such as button, oyster, porcini and chanterelle. However, there are many mushrooms which are not edible and may cause stomach pains or vomiting if eaten, and in some cases may be fatal, such as the common death cap mushroom.

Mushrooms are being researched for their important health benefits, with a number of varieties demonstrating important medicinal properties.

Nutritional benefits

An 80-gram serving of Mushrooms provides:

  • 6 Kcal / 23 KJ
  • 0.8 grams of Protein
  • 0.2 grams of Fat
  • 0.2 grams Carbohydrates
  • 0.6g grams Fibre
  • 302 milligrams of Potassium
  • 32 mcg Folate

An 80 gram serving counts as one of your five-a-day – that’s approximately 14 button Mushrooms.

Mushrooms are a source of vitamin D

Mushrooms are one of the few non-animal sources of vitamin D. When they are grown and exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, such as sunlight or a UV lamp, Mushrooms increase their level of vitamin D. You can even do this at home by leaving mushrooms out in direct sunlight for 15-120 minutes. Research indicates that this simple action may result in vitamin D levels as high as 10 micrograms per 100 g fresh weight.

Mushrooms contain immune modulating nutrients

One of the active ingredients in Mushrooms is a type of fibre called alpha-glucan. This compound helps your immune system fight infection and possibly even stop the growth or progression of tumours. Mushrooms are also a good source of B vitamins, as well as a powerful antioxidant called selenium. This helps support the immune system and prevent damage to cells and tissues.

May be beneficial for the management of neurodegenerative conditions

Certain varieties of mushroom are referred to as ‘medicinal,’ because they are believed to have specific healing properties. Lion’s mane and reishi are types of medicinal Mushrooms that are often taken as a supplement or powder, rather than eaten whole. There is preliminary evidence that such medicinal mushrooms may be beneficial in the treatment and management of neurodegenerative diseases, and potentially for Alzheimer’s.

May help keep your heart healthy

Mushrooms have been shown to possess some therapeutic properties which may help lower cholesterol, particularly in overweight adults. They also provide nutrients and compounds that may help prevent cells from sticking to blood vessel walls and forming plaque build-up. Maintaining healthy blood pressure and circulation helps protect the heart.

May support gut health

Mushrooms contain compounds such as beta glucan, which appear to act as prebiotics and fuel the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. This in turn promotes a favourable gut environment. Which is important because a healthy gut plays an important role in several important physiological processes, including maintaining our immune defences, digesting our food. This healthy state helps your brain through keeping nerves and hormones correctly balanced.

Are Mushrooms safe for everyone?

Most people should be able to eat shop-bought Mushrooms safely, as long as they are not allergic to mushrooms or mould.

However, with the growing popularity of wild food foraging comes more risk. With so many varieties of mushroom being unsafe for human consumption, you must be cautious before dashing out to your nearest woodland. It is best to forage with an expert and take photographs of the common edible varieties with you; make sure that the Mushrooms are cooked before you try them, as only a few are safe to eat raw.

Some types of Mushrooms contain a compound called psilocybin. These mushrooms have been used for millennia and are harmless if used properly. Psilocybin mushrooms are classified as a class A drug in the UK, which means it’s illegal to possess them for your own use, give them away, or sell them. This varies from country to country.

Hyphae & similarities with neurons

Fungiː Hyphae. Lactophenol cotton blue dye.

Several fungal species penetrate substrates and accomplish host invasion through the fast, permanent, and unidirectional extension of filamentous cells known as hyphae. However, polar growth results in a significant increase in the distance between the polarity site, which receives the newest information about ambient conditions, and the nuclei, where adaptive responses are executed.

Recent studies show that these long distances are overcome by signal transduction pathways that convey sensory information from the polarity site to the nucleus. The mechanisms for long-distance communication in hyphae share spectacular similarities with those from neurons.

Transmission of information via hyphae

One of the vital functions of fungi is their ability to interact with their environment and adjust to changes. An efficient adaptation, however, requires an accurate transduction of external information. This process is hard to do because polarity sites and nuclei in neurons and hyphae are far apart. The polarized exocytosis processes reviewed above result in signalling proteins reaching polarity sites, enabling the retrograde flow of information.

The above shows the development of spores to hyphae.

Hominidae

The Hominidae, whose members are known as the great apes or hominids, are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo (the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan); Gorilla (the eastern and western gorilla); Pan (the chimpanzee and the bonobo); and Homo, of which only modern humans remain.

basic ape

This adult female Western lowland gorilla from Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park, northern Congo, used a branch as a walking stick to gauge the water’s depth. This proves that gorillas use tools. As part of an ongoing study of western gorillas in Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo, Thomas Breuer, Mireille Ndoundou-Hockemba, and Vicki Fishlock reveal that gorillas are just as resourceful as the other great apes.

From an observation platform at Mbeli Bai, a swampy forest clearing that gorillas frequently visit to forage, Breuer et al. studied an adult female gorilla named Leah (a member of a long-studied gorilla group) at the edge of a pool of water,

“looking intently at the water in front of her. Leah walked upright into the water, but stopped and returned to the edge when the water reached her waist. She then walked back into the water, grabbed a branch in front of her, detached it, and, grasping it firmly, repeatedly jabbed the water in front of her with the end of the branch, using it to test the water depth or substrate stability. She continued walking across the pool, branch in hand, using it as a walking stick for postural support.”

Great Ape Project (GAP)

The Great Ape Project (GAP) was started in 1993 and is a group of scientists, anthropologists, ethicists, and others who want a United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Great Apes. This would give basic legal rights to non-human great apes, such as chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans.

The right to life, the protection of individual liberty, and the prohibition of torture are all suggested. The organization also keeps track of individual great ape activity in the United States through a census program. Once rights are established, GAP would ask for great apes to be set free from captivity. Currently, 3,100 are held in the U.S., including 1,280 in biomedical research facilities 1.

On February 28, 2007, the parliament of the Balearic Islands passed the world’s first legislation that would give great apes legal personhood rights. The resolution provoked public support for the rights of great apes across Spain. On June 25, 2008, a parliamentary committee passed resolutions urging Spain to grant the primates the right to life and liberty. If approved, “it will ban harmful experiments on apes and make keeping them for circuses, television commercials, or filming illegal under Spain’s penal code.”

The great apes do use Psilocybin fungi. However there is no specific research known at the time of writing that would explain extant great ape use of Psilocybin fungi.

Modern man

Early evidence of modern man and his practices

European bison, from a painting on the roof of the cave of Altamira, Spain

Documented evidence of the use of Psilocybin fungi.

  1. Prehistoric rock arts, near Villar del Humo in Spain, suggests that Psilocybin Hispanic was used in religious rituals 6,000 years ago.

  2. The hallucinogenic species of the Psilocybin genus have a history of use among the native peoples of Mesoamerica for religious communion, divination, and healing, from pre-Columbian times to the present day.

  3. Mushroom stones and motifs have been found in Guatemala. A figurine dating from ca. 200 COMMON ERA, depicting a mushroom strongly resembling Psilocybe mexicana, was found in the west Mexican state of Colima in a shaft and chamber tomb.

  4. A Psilocybe species known to the Aztecs as teōnanācatl (literally “divine mushroom”: agglutinative form of teōtl (god, sacred) and nanācatl (mushroom) in Nahuatl language) was reportedly served at the coronation of the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II in 1502.

  5. Aztecs and Mazatecs referred to psilocybin Mushrooms as genius mushrooms, divinatory mushrooms, and wondrous mushrooms, when translated into English.

  6. Bernardino de Sahagún reported the ritualistic use of teonanácatl by the Aztecs, when he travelled to Central America after the expedition of Hernán Cortés.

  7. After the Spanish conquest, Catholic missionaries crusaded against the cultural tradition of the Aztecs, dismissing the Aztecs as idol worshippers, and the use of hallucinogenic plants and Mushrooms, together with other pre-Christian traditions, was violently suppressed.

  8. The Spanish believed the mushroom allowed the Aztecs and others to communicate with devils. Despite this history, the use of teonanácatl has persisted in some remote areas.

  9. The Vatican’s oversee in the matter of Psilocybin Mushrooms was probably the first step in making much of the western society consider that this was horrifying, despite local practice for various uses also dating back millennia.

Dysfunctional man

Societas humana hodie est prorsus mala

  1. At this point, we are in a state of being that can only be described as totally dysfunctional. Leaders who are simply puppets of the mega rich and corporate world are allowed to control every aspect of everything on our small planet. This is not sociologically healthy, as the 1% at the top of the pyramid are psychopathic and sociopathic monsters, even if they do not know it themselves.
  2. Our planet is run using a casino with loaded dice. Our supposedly democratic societies are nothing more than a farce. They were nothing more than a farce when democracy was first invented in Greece. Athens relied on slaves to perform all the work. Thus, leaving the ruling class to play the game of democracy. It was common for the same speaker to represent different sides at different times.
  3. As humans, we are a part of this planet, and as such, we are responsible for its condition. Despite this, we continue to allow our planet to be abused in unprecedented ways.
  4. The fact that there are 8 billion of us on Earth is not the cause of the problems of our way of life, such as Covid-19 plagues, wars, and the increased price of oil and electricity. Our issues are rooted in our social and economic organization.
  5. It is therefore not surprising that what we describe as medicine is also diseased. In the short term, pharmaceutical chemical companies make life-saving drugs. Over time, these chemicals will cause more diseases.
  6. This is why people are looking for alternative solutions. There are alternatives that do not cause disease.
  7. One would expect that a world filled with computers and robots would make life easier. Nevertheless, the racketeers at the top of the system will always find a way to turn every tool against us.
  8. We should turn the pyramid upside down. The mass of the population will then push the 1% and their supporters into the ground where they belong.
  9. I believe it is important to understand that anyone you may see who is at the top and hailed as the richest, is not running the show. This is a powerful group of people, but they must bank their money somewhere. They play the stock market and use other people’s money to gain more wealth. They are merely another component of the machine.
  10. I see that many people believe that they may play the casino stock market, own massive wealth, and still believe they are socialists. In reality, these are Armchair Communists, and most of them are mean, nasty, disloyal, and two faced.
  11. An entirely new world order is needed. However, this is not the new world order of the Bush family, but one where proactive consensus thinking and decision making is the norm. We need to educate our children to achieve this. We must educate them about politics and how decision-making is best done.

A sizable part of the problem is consumerism

A sizable part of the problem is consumerism, which only came about after World War II. Consumerism is a disease that leads to a society that uses things once and then throws them away. It creates a society in which the consumer is continually looking for something new and never happy with what he has or what he is getting.

There are people who want a global reset. Beware of their intentions, as some of them are types who would kill half the worlds’ population to save their own position in the power pyramid.

Consumers Want to Know is a 30-minute documentary on Consumers Union, which is a non-extant name of a now useless United States-based non-profit organization now called Consumer Reports. The documentary was made in 1960. Some things change and some things never change.

FOOTNOTES

This is about as horrific as it gets. Using great apes as lab rats is no different from using humans for the same purpose. The author disagrees with using Lab Rats for consumerist product testing or any other horrific testing, for that matter.

Health & Society

The World Health Organization

The World Health Organization was established on April 7, 1948. The first meeting of the World Health Assembly took place on 24 July. The WHO amalgamated the assets, personnel, and duties of the League of Nations’ Health Organization and the Office International d’Hygiène Publique, including the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)

The work began in earnest in 1951 after significant financial and technical resources were invested.

Universal health care

Universal health care is a health care system in which all residents of a particular country or region are assured access to health care.

The history of Universal health is bound with consumerism insofar as it came into being at the same time. After World War II, the need to ensure that the workforce was in good condition was seen as of great value. One might consider this to be similar to a farmer looking at his animal’s health to assess the value of his stock.

State financing

State financing of universal health care involves citizens contributing to the provision of health services through taxes. These are typically shared across the whole population, unless local governments raise and retain tax revenues. Some countries (notably Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Italy, Brazil, Portugal, India, and the Nordic countries) choose to fund public health care directly from taxation alone.

Other countries that only have insurance-based systems ineffectively meet the cost of insuring those unable to insure themselves via social security schemes funded from taxation. Either they directly pay their medical bills or they pay for insurance premiums for those affected. This does not work properly in most cases.

The countries that have direct state financing of health are the ones that have established health research establishments and research hospitals. Those countries that do not have direct health finance often fail completely in this area.

Great oratory

President John F. Kennedy’s address at Rice University, Houston, Texas, concerning the nation’s efforts in space exploration. In his speech, the President covers his perceived need for the United States to become an international leader in space exploration. He famously states, “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”

These were the days of great oratory

  1. These were the days of great oratory, when leaders possessed the intellectual capability to both make points and sell ideas.

  2. In the first part of his famous ‘We choose to go to the moon’ speech, John Fitzgerald Kennedy makes a brilliant assessment of human development and knowledge.

  3. But, at that time and still now, the United States does not have a national health system. This is absolutely uncivilized.

  4. If John Fitzgerald Kennedy had said, “We will create and provide the best health service from the cradle to the grave, regardless of race, colour, or creed.” Followed by saying “This will be the best health service in the world, guaranteed as a right and paid for by our great nation’s government,” then this speech would have lived up to the idealism he offered.

  5. Yet, he failed. He failed to address the real issues of the human condition. Instead, he focused upon a diversion from the arms race to a parallel space race.

Deliberate poisoning and experimentation?

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) designed and undertook an illegal human experimentation program called Project MKUltra.

MKUltra was officially intended to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used in interrogations to weaken individuals and force confessions through psychological torture and brainwashing. However, populations of towns and even cities were exposed to LSD in the water supply. The program started in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964 and 1967, and was halted in 1973. MKUltra was not exclusive to the United States, and was also practised in the United Kingdom.

The MKUltra program utilized numerous methods to manipulate its subjects mental states and brain functions, such as the covert administration of high doses of psychoactive drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, electroshocks, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, and verbal and sexual abuse, in addition to other forms of torture.

Chemtrails?

Are deep state organizations involved in spreading disease or harm to the human population of our planet?

Chemtrails have been seen in no-fly zones. We are talking about more than just a few trails. Sometimes, the sky appears to be a cross-crossed chessboard above. Why are these Chemtrails there?

In part, the moderately excessively long-lasting journeying that brought this book into being, is as all-important as is its content. This must be weasel-worded by reference point to the actual start of the process of writing. Now, this point, might strongly be argued to have come about at the very dawning of time itself. 1

In Short

The above is important because it is a wavy line. The universe is full of both undulation and oscillation.

Gravitational waves are waves in space-time that are caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe. Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves in his general theory of relativity, published in 1916. Einstein’s mathematics showed that massive objects moving at speeds approaching the speed of light would disrupt space-time in such a way that ‘waves’ of undulating space-time would propagate in all directions away from the source. These cosmic ripples would travel at the speed of light, carrying information about their origins with them. Furthermore, they would provide clues to the nature of gravity.

The most powerful gravitational waves come from events like black holes colliding, supernovae exploding, and neutron stars colliding. Other waves are predicted to be caused by the rotation of neutron stars that are not perfect spheres, and possibly even the remnants of the Big bang.

Non-fictional motivation

This is not a fictional book. Instead, it is a book that, I hope, will at least impart the rudiments of Psilocybin. If you find yourself absolutely lost, confounded, disorientated and disillusioned within the desert of conflicting ideas, relating (to) this subject, you are not alone. Be fearless! If you go into psychosis, return to this book as quickly as possible. Being stranded out in the desert on a horse with no name is a cliché & it is an earworm, a song that will stay in your mind forever. Take refuge in this book.

Purpose

As stated elsewhere the purpose of this book is to briefly engage the reader in such a manner so as to alleviate the awful psychic pressures that otherwise might do great harm to the individual concerned. The warning here, is that unlike many other books, this book assumes that:

  1. The reader will never have time to finish the book. 2
  2. The reader will be mentally elsewhere, most likely waiting for a series of mind-grilling interviews3, an awful medical examination.
  3. Or perhaps simply waiting for the worst possible corporate mind-washing-presentation ever. 4
  4. For the above reasons, the text of this book (elsewhere, deep within the core content) is necessarily non-terse and the pictures are both visually stunning and massive.
  5. I hope that by at least flipping 5 through the pages of this book, the reader may increase their lifespan. lessen the torture that is the current environment and at least reduce the actual caffeine content in the bloodstream.
  6. This is done by saying “No, thanks”, when offered a third cup of coffee, after having seen many other candidates for the job interview, walk out with a shining smile seemingly surgically implanted into their faces. 6
  7. The reader who is on a bus, train or other transport mechanism, may also arrive safely at his/ her/ its/ destination; this would, at least in part, be due to the calming nature of this book.

The journey of writing this book

When I started writing this book, I freely admit that I had no idea what I was writing; even to the extent that there was no idea of a title nor what content would result from my effort. Yet, after some time, the fluidity of writing exponentially grew until the words were falling onto the screen in a torrent.

What I Learned From This Journey

I learned that this Afterword, would come to be the single most verbose and utterly useless part of this book. By comparison, the brief yet pertinent comments authored and published on the actual subject, within the actual content on the subject of Psilocybin are but a drop in the ocean of Spacetime.

Problems during writing

As with all my endeavors, finishing this book and getting it published in a well bound, 7 high-quality hardback finish was only one of the stumbling blocks.8 I am known for starting many projects and not finishing almost any of them. This is a curse, a hex, a piece of unfair fabric of this universe!

Please note that at the time of writing, any hardback of paperback version of this book is but a piece of legal fiction.

How writing this book changed me

In a way9, as the author, I can frankly say that writing this book, really changed me. It provided me with firmness of purpose and feedback. We all need success of one sort or another. We seek this, to see ourselves in what we have done.

Without this feedback of cognitive content, it is as though one may never have seen oneself. Imagine, if you will, a time and place where a mirror is not ever available. Under these circumstances you will never see your face. How would you recognize yourself? Indeed, this is highly problematic and is only the tip of the iceberg.

This reflection of ourselves belongs within the field of introspective psychology, among other esoteric fringe-psychology and otherworldly existential realities.

How long?

Writing this book took an inordinate amount of time. Literally, this means that there are no ordinal numbers with which to describe time. However, I did resonate with the core tor! 10

How to read this book

Any suggestions about how to read this book are unnecessary, since you will almost certainly never finish it and may even open it halfway through. If there is a special way to do this, the quantum mechanics relating to the formula needed to express this is beyond the scope of this preface.

NOTE: The days of quality free higher education vanished decades ago. (YankSide never genuinely had the privilege of quality University education) Presently, it is honestly11 more cost-effective, not to take any course at a quality university. Rather, if you want to learn, only make use of the libraries and gatecrash lectures at these establishments.

On most days of the week, you will find that enrolled students do not inconvenience themselves by actually attending either the libraries or lectures as they are far to busy recovering from the party the night before. So, you may find the lecturer only too proud to accept you, even if you are exceedingly unclear about your enrollment status etc.

The manifest clear-cut benefit of non-enrolment these days, is that the whole student loan syndrome has become intimately tied to the need to lend which itself is an inerrable failure of the Bretton-Woods-Agreement. This results in a state where the fully-fledged student arrives out of the machine-like processing & industrial plant of the modern University with a debt that weighs as much as a house.

As an alternative, if you are the guardian of the prospective degree winner, and have real estate in your name, get remortgaged up to the sky or beyond, and then factor-in the indenture and life-long wage-slavery that this entails.

Never, is a very very very long time, such that especially in the context of an assumption about some person never having time to read the whole book, one has to generally diss this idea.

In this context ‘flipping the pages’ may have to be interpreted as clicking a mouse or pressing & swiping at a tablet device. This is because there is a high probability you may be reading the online version of The Improbability of Psilocybin Book.

Caffeine, is addictive, it provokes the release of adrenaline which may or may not help you. In a situation where you are faced by a lion who is looking for dinner, adrenaline may help. However, in the urban setting of a tall corporate smoked-glass-fronted tower-block, faced with an interview, large quotas of adrenaline will probably not help you at all.

The glamorous hardback bound version of this book is, at least for now, virtual, insofar as yet, it does not physically exist. Do not let this stop you from enjoying the feeling of a well bound hardback book experience. Indeed, if you are reading this book using a tablet, just sink into the sofa, chair, or other available seating and countenance your mind to resonate 10 with the idea of hardback books. If you can do this, you are already more than halfway there.

“In a way” is a really feeble cliché that is often used in social circumstances to say something yet appear non-bound to the consequence of what has been said. In a way, this is done to reduce the jeopardy that the person or group of persons listening, may not agree with the offering. Indeed, in a way, a person who routinely says, “in a way” in front of everything, is hedging their bets. In a way, this is true since, were they to be more bold and hence omit the “in a way” prefix, a potential higher probability of actual personal interaction might result. In a way, this itself may create social unrest or modest cognitive dissonance within the mindset of the listeners or reader.

Although there are numerous references to both hardback and paperback versions of this book, those words appear in the anticipation that this book will manifest itself into these additional varieties.

Where are Magic Mushrooms Legal?

  1. In Brazil, it is legal to possess, consume, and sell Magic Mushrooms – even though the substance psilocybin is technically illegal. Brazilian law requires that illegal activities have specific laws written about them, and there are none related to fresh mushroom cultivation or sale.
  2. Although the British Virgin Islands prohibits the sale and transport of Magic Mushrooms, possession and personal use is legal. You may even notice vendors selling them to tourists without apparent consequences.
  3. Jamaica doesn’t seem to have a problem with Magic mushroom use, and there are even a number of Shroom retreats in the country.
  4. In the Netherlands, although psilocybin Mushrooms are illegal, a loophole in the law allows for the cultivation, purchase, and use of “Magic truffles.” Truffles are just a different stage of development of a mushroom, and truffles of psilocybin mushroom species still contain hefty quantities of psilocybin. They can be bought online from some vendors.
  5. In Austria, the use of psilocybin Mushrooms is decriminalized, but you may be required to attend therapy if you’re found with them. You can also grow your own mushrooms, as long as they’re for aesthetic purposes, and you don’t ingest them…
  6. Canada places restrictions on psilocybin Mushrooms, but you can legally purchase mushroom spores, and even Magic mushroom microdoses (more info here). We would advise against growing magic mushrooms for ingestion, as this could be interpreted as manufacture of a prohibited substance under Canadian law.
  7. Magic Mushrooms have an uncertain legal status in Costa Rica, and psychedelic retreats operate in the open. As yet, there appear to have been no arrests related to sorcerous mushrooms in Costa Rica.
  8. The cultivation of Magic Mushrooms has been decriminalized in the Czech Republic, as long as you are only growing a “small” amount. Possession of “large” amounts is still illegal (but it’s hard to know what these quantities are).
  9. In Italy, Magic Mushrooms are partially decriminalized – you will not face prison time for possessing small amounts, but you may face administrative punishments like losing your driving licence.
  10. Although it is illegal to possess, cultivate and sell in Mexico, authorities turn a blind eye to sacramental use of fresh Mushrooms, as the Vienna Convention makes an exception for sacramental use of plant medicines.
  11. In Portugal, Magic Mushrooms are decriminalized, meaning you can possess small amounts without going to jail. However, you will end up going to court-mandated rehabilitation or therapy if you are caught.
  12. Personal use of Magic Mushrooms has been decriminalized in Spain. There is uncertainty surrounding the use of grow kits and spores, and the possession of small amounts of fresh mushrooms. It is advisable to not take any risks.
  13. The United States has several exceptions to the prohibition of psilocybin. Surprisingly, it is legal to buy Magic mushroom spores in most states, as long as you do not intend to use them to grow Mushrooms. Some states also have laws prohibiting the sale of spores (currently California, Georgia and Idaho). Surprisingly, it is legal to grow psilocybin mushrooms in New Mexico – and there even is a religious group devoted to their sacramental use. Several US cities, including Denver and Oakland, have decriminalized magic mushrooms, and other US cities may follow suit. In 2020, Oregon became the first US state to pass blanket decriminalization of all drugs.

Are There Legal Alternatives to Magic Mushrooms?

  1. If you live in a place where Magic Mushrooms are illegal, you may not have many legal options for getting them. Check whether your country allows you to buy grow kits or spores to grow Shrooms.
  2. If you live in the European Union, you may be able to purchase Magic truffles from a vendor located in the Netherlands. Some vendors ship to other countries, and the legality of magic truffles may vary by country.
  3. Some research chemicals, like 4-AcO-DMT, are legal in some countries and are designed to mimic the effects of psilocybin. We don’t recommend buying unknown chemicals from unknown sources. It is far more safe to go out mushroom foraging!

How do I Get Started with Growing Magic Mushrooms?

  1. If you live somewhere that allows the cultivation of Magic Mushrooms, you have an exciting opportunity to grow your very own plant medicine.
  2. In some places, you can even order spores online, making the whole process a lot easier.

Frequently Asked Shroom Legal Questions (FASLQ)

Where are Mushrooms legal in Europe?

  1. In Austria there are no restrictions for fresh Mushrooms and the personal use of dried mushrooms is decriminalized. It’s also completely legal to cultivate mushrooms, as long as they’re not going to be consumed as drugs.

  2. In Italy, Portugal, and Spain Magic Mushrooms have been decriminalized to different extents.

  3. In the Netherlands you can consume Magic truffles.

Always check your local laws before buying, consuming or growing Magic Mushrooms.

Are Mushrooms legal in Costa Rica?

Magic Mushrooms have an uncertain legal status in Costa Rica – sorcerous mushroom retreats appear to operate without harassment from authorities, but you may be at risk outside these retreat centres.

Are Magic Mushrooms legal in Mexico?

Magic Mushrooms are illegal in Mexico in general, but they are allowed if growing in the wild or used in traditional purposes by indigenous cultures.

Where is psilocybin legal?

Psilocybin is currently legal in:

  1. Jamaica
  2. Nepal
  3. Netherlands (as truffles)
  4. Samoa
  5. Brazil
  6. Bahamas
  7. British Virgin Islands (possession and personal use, not sale or growing).

Always check your local laws, and remember that regulations and prohibitions can change quickly!

It is the opinion of the author, that even if the THEY, didn’t manufacture and disseminate COVID-19, they certainly hijacked it. The white paper that went to the World Health Organization, was cooked-up by upper exhibition road, London (here we are talking: Imperial collage). In this document, it unconditionally says that the R number was already grater than 1. Quick calculations will show you that were this to have been true, then there would have been bodies everywhere, literally all around you!

Introduction to the mystic vastness

The mythology of Shrooms

Psilocybin is a mystical Brain—Drift—Cancellation 1 method. Psilocybin was used as early as pre-caveman eras, yet the attested codified cultivated roots of this ancient art, are steeped within archaic Hallowed Nordic Sagas (HNS) 2; these were closely championed yet scarcely understood by an exceedingly secretive cabal of solemn religious businesspersons such as the Vatican. In biblical times before the Vatican, such as may be represented in the first book of the bible, there was a thriving prophet business going on. To gain inspiration, the Novice Prophet would ingest Shrooms.

Note: Although Psilocybin is an ancient superior skill, which is thus far only partially comprehended, it is pertinent today. If implemented with forethought and respectfulness to the elders, the scriptures and those who have been in direct connection with these solemn and ancient Psilocybin Warriors, Psilocybin may indeed surpass expectations of traditional pharmaceutical medicine.

Tradition has it that each carefully & cautiously admitted novice, would take an oath. He (we are referring to pre-political correctness eras here, and thus all work, is done by men) would avow to add a minor yet sound betterment to the Psilocybin Runic Sagas.

This proposed betterment would be placed, ceremonially, before the assembly of elders. If approved, the initiate would then become a Full Runic Psilocybin Guilds Journeyman. Nevertheless, if not approved, the novice would be deprived & stripped of all credibility, banished, cast out on only one coal per week during midwinter, to walk barefoot forever. The novice would ne’er be extended the expectation of proving himself once more, for these were stark times…

Carved in stone

The ancient sacred incantations and recipes, were passed down in runic scripts. These were carved into stone. It, is said that the very first entries within these Sagas, date from the very beginning of time itself. This mystical & Magic remedy countenances & allows a the brain to actually function with the stability & steadiness of a photon.

In real terms

You eat a small amount of Truffle or home grown fresh mushroom. Yet, you hardly ever binge on this vital essence, as then it is not the same thing at all.

Back to the mythology

A Monty Carlo plot of probabilities of winnings, against number of bets. Psilocybin may be looked at this way… as a statistical probability of arriving at one of many states of higher brain function.

$$ \huge Psilocybin(Liberation)=\sum_{x\in Liberation} f(x),. $$

First printed blueprint

It is said that the first printed blueprint was authored by the late Asger M. Eriksen 3 (The Nordic Sagas) PASSBOOK in 1973. Nevertheless, “Far out Topics” April 1969 quotes Oliver E. Hansen 4, outlining the idea, which does oppose the above and is an implicit part of the convoluted side of the Sagas themselves. Oliver and others, over the years, performed add-ins to the Runic Nordic Sagas with full approval of all elders.

Phillipp Muller, 5 The Comrade “Vast Technical Topics” journalist, was the chief dispersion champion of Acknowledgement in the post 60s renascence period of revitalizing the essences of what it is that we all forgot from times lost in deliberate failure.

The actual Bible mentions the use of Mushrooms if read at a 33-degree angle, up a mountain, near a burning bush and with sheep shitting, all around you.

FOOTNOTES

1

Think about someone you love, and the neurons in your brain will light up like a Christmas tree. But if you think about them again, will the same lights go off? Chances are: the answer’s no. And that could have big implications for the future of AI. New research (2021) reveals that neurons in the visual cortex, the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli, change their responses to the same stimulus over time. Although other studies have documented ‘representational drift‘ in neurons in the parts of the brain associated with odour and spatial memory, this result is surprising because neural activity in the primary visual cortex is thought to be relatively stable.

The Hallowed Nordic Sagas (HNS) has boastfully nada to do with the NHS (National Health Service). Indeed, it predates the NHS and is really mystical, which the NHS is certainly not.

Suggested reading

Principal useless source

There are main-core sources for information which you should hardly ever trust, not in a billion years.

Please be aware that this book is the library; is the sacred scriptures of Psilocybin. Much of it is consistent and may be correct, yet there is a mystic nature within much of this subject. Upon careful incrustation you will find a direct contrariness and perchance ideas which may upon first sight appear to be Of No Use. However, each article of the scriptures contains valid input. As such, all articles are worthy and must be honoured even when they seem partly erroneous.
